Don't forget about the unions.
The luggage is designed to "protect" the contents of the luggage for period of time. But when that are exposed to the elements for so long the contents will get wet. If their is lightning around the area, you can bet your rear that the union worker is obligated to drop all work activities to protect themselves. it is in the contract.
That means your luggage is not as important as their lives. It would be nice if the ramp was covered and no luggage got wet. Those bags have to travel in the elements from one airplane to the next and sit in a pile while the other bags are being unloaded or weights are being figured. An important task to be sure. I do wish their was a better way but until someone figures it out, commercial airline travel is a joke. Oh yeah, some airlines do have covered carts but the rain still seeps in through the openings of the tarps. It sucks I know!
